After getting benched during Boston's matchup against the Maple Leafs on Nov. 11, DeBrusk has been a force on the ice for the Bruins -- tallying six points (two goals, four assists) over six games with a plus-7 rating.

Since returning from his back injury, Krejci posted three points (two goals, one assist) over five games while averaging 17:43 of time on ice.

While both DeBrusk and Krejci are out, Cassidy added that both Brad Marchand and David Backes are game-time decisions for Wednesday.

Marchand -- who ranks second on the Bruins in scoring with 15 points over 14 games -- has missed the last six games for the Bruins.

Despite facing an expected recovery time of eight weeks due to colon surgery, Backes might be back for game action in under a month. The veteran forward has tallied one assist in five games this season.

Cassidy also says Brad Marchand and David Backes will be game-time decisions against Tampa Bay. Ryan Spooner "looks good for tomorrow." #NHLBruins
